...most part, the answer is yes. The performers in Noise/Funk all exude talent, and each of them gives a fantastic performance. Unfortunately, the Shubert Theater lacks the equipment to effectively display their luminous energy. The show-stopping vocal acrobatics of 'da Singer (Vickilyn Reynolds) are certainly loud, but the Shubert's poorly-tuned sound system prevent most of the audience from distinguishing what exactly the lyrics to her songs are.

Maybe that's because of the fact that in spite of all the diversity on this campus, a significant majority come from surprisingly similar backgrounds with regard to their financial need. Perhaps, if and when the College institutes more ethnic studies classes, it will include a class on the "Ethnicity of Poverty" or one called "Lifestyles Beyond the Ivory Tower." Oh, what a different world that would...
